Can’t y’all get an island and check to see if your utopia even works first?
Impressions:
No sooner does it kill off every named character thus far does it spew out another half dozen meat for the grinder. And boy, when the mask drops, it drops. Neumann immediately broadcasts to the world that she’s planning on genociding everybody to create a world of only ‘good’ historical superheroes, but actually, it’s the ‘secret’ plan of Nightingale, who’s still pretending to not be the mastermind except everybody already knows it, so what’s the point of that actually? And if we knew they were all being controlled, or worse, like Newton, Einstein, Touya, Masamune, etc, weren’t controlled and were misguided, then why did the good/bad guys proceed to murder, melt, and otherwise liquidate all these potential allies?
Touya also continues to be a baffling weak part of the show too. Oh, sure, I could take your power, and probably fix things, save humanity, etc, but that wouldn’t show that I believe in myself. That has to be the stupidest cop out imaginable. There are a zillion other excuses that could be made. It would kill him. His power only works on ‘evil’ stealing. The true baddies know how to counter it somehow. “I’ve had character development” when you’ve barely been on screen for the last five episodes is utter nonsense. Hell, the last five minutes of this episode was the backstory of the random angel girl, which amounted to fridging herself. That’s more focus than he’s gotten since episode 2. If anything, only shows that no, you have not actually grown at all because you’re still being a selfish little idiot with a god complex. But hey, sure. You believe in yourself now. With your power to… make things spikey and be somewhat unkillable unless the other person tries extra hard to kill you? You sure seem ready and able to take on orbital beam weapons and giant mechs.
